The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei Owusu says he is disappointed by the decision made by Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu to step down from his position as Majority Leader.
He said in an interview in parliament “I am personally disappointed that Kyei-Mensah decided to resign, but he has been an extremely good leader and a very hardworking person, and I would have wished he stayed on to the end.”
When asked about the few names that have popped up so far to take over the vacant position, he said he had no information on the decision of those names nor had he any idea on who could be named as a replacement.
“It did get to me as a surprise, but what got to him, we better let him explain. Once he stood down, he is no longer the Majority Leader and as to whether any change has happened, I don’t have any information any person is either been nominated, discussed, or chosen.”
He also disregards reports that he wants to be the next majority leader.
